JAMMU: Director Animal Husbandry Department Jammu, Sanjay Gupta today chaired a review meeting to assess the physical and financial progress of major departmental schemes including Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP), CAPEX projects, Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) and NABARD-funded initiatives across Jammu division.

The meeting was attended by Dy. Directors, Chief Animal Husbandry Officers of all districts, officers of HADP Cell, Accounts, Planning, Publicity and Technical staff of Directorate. During the meeting, scheme-wise progress was reviewed in detail with emphasis on achievement of physical targets, utilization of funds, infrastructure development, beneficiary coverage and timely submission of utilization certificates.  

The Director stressed the importance of efficient fund utilization, transparency in financial regulations and strict adherence to timelines for completion of ongoing works while keeping in mind the curbs over budget expenditures in the last quarter of the financial year.

The officers were directed to expedite the implementation of approved projects, remove bottlenecks in execution and ensure regular monitoring at field level and alignment of physical progress with financial expenditures.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
